is creating opportunities for yourself. We will be discussing a presentat

\n

About the talk:

\n

Have you
ever had an idea that you wanted to be involved in and execute\, but it ne
ver quite happened for you? For Kristy Tillman\, Design Director for Society of Grownups\, this was
not only true for her\, but at times it felt like the defining sentiment
of her career. While we live in a world of interconnection\, it’s still so
easy to feel like we’re not making the impact that we’d like\, or that we
’re not taking advantage of all of our opportunities. But instead of askin
g for permission or waiting for opportunities to magically unfold before u
s Kristy challenges us to make our own opportunities. How? By inviting you
rself to the table.

WORK_SPACE is honored to host a retrospecti
ve of the work of Hans Weiss\, a long-time and extremely engaged resident
of Manchester. Curated by Christiane O’Brien in conjunction with Hans hims
elf\, the exhibit is scheduled to run from April 5-May 31\, 2019. The open
ing reception will be on Friday\, April 5\, 2019 from 6-8p with a brief co
nversation with Hans to take place at 7pm. This exhibit is an opportunity

e the depth of his contributions to Manchester and beyond.

\n

Hans Weiss is an artist\, an inventor\, and a benefactor for art\, cult
ure and community. In fact\, his impact extends as far as the moon. Throug
h the Dynamic Metal Products Company that he founded in Manchester in 1963
\, Hans created many aerospace devices\; some making it to space including
buckles for the Apollo astronauts’ spacesuits and lunar antennas for RCA
that enabled communication between astronauts on the moon and NASA staff a
t mission control. Hans was awarded two U.S. Patents for recorders in punc
h clocks that automatically recorded elapsed time – this was in 1970 befor
e computers were available. In 1989 Mr. Weiss sold his business and began
painting full time in his Manchester Studio which sits next to the Hans We
iss Gallery at 138 Oakland Street.
